Description
Summary:1948 1948 1940s 32 pages : illustrations Keep this Guide in a safe place. You are bound to need it again. PART ONE How the Scheme Works 1. What is the National Insurance Scheme? in return for regular weekly contributions, it will provide cash benefits during sickness, injury, unemployment and widowhood, payments at childbirth and at death, and pensions for industrial disablement and on retirement from regular work. It is compulsory, and takes the place of the present Unemployment insurance, National Health and Contributory Pension Schemes, and the Workmen's Compensation Acts. The money to pay for these benefits comes partly from weekly contributions by insured people and employers and partly from payments out of taxes. 2. Who will be Contributors? In general, everyone living in Great Britain over school leaving age will become insurable on the 5th July 1948 in one of the three classes: CLASS 1. Employed persons. Those who work for an employer under a contract of service or are paid apprentices. Most people who work for wages or salary are in this class. CLASS 2. Self-employed persons. Those in business on their own account and others who are working for gain but do not work under the control of an employer. 4 345/3/2/10
